Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, cold
• 1/2 teaspoon Low sodium baking soda
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup Milk (preferably low-fat)
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the milk and white vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to sour (this is a homemade buttermilk substitute).

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, low sodium baking soda, and granulated sugar.

Step 4

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the flour-butter mixture and pour in the soured milk. Gently stir with a spatula until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Fold the rectangle in thirds like a letter, then pat it down again into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Repeat this folding process two more times to create layers that make the biscuits flaky.

Step 8

Use a round cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter) to cut the biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting to ensure they rise evenly.

Step 9

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm.
